Exercise Calorie Calculator: How Many Do You Burn?

Losing weight and/or body fat requires burning more calories than you take in, and exercise is the best way to burn calories. A calorie burn calculator is a quick and easy way to determine just how many calories your favorite activity burns.

Exercise calories burned is just one part of the equation, however. Did you know that you are burning calories every minute of every day? Even at rest, you burn approximately 1-2 calories per minute.

Besides performing cardiovascular exercises regularly, there are other ways of speeding up your metabolism.

Resistance training exercise strengthens and builds muscles and allows you to burn more calories every day. Lean muscle costs your body more calories than fat, so adding muscle will increase the rate at which calories are burned. Find a great workout here.

Perform both aerobic and anaerobic exercises in your routine to maximize your results.
